I understand it was 1959 (even I am not that old) but what a dick-move by Revell there. Put the trademark on the inside you *^#@&$&*%^s!

Looking really like show level, great job. Yeah that was pretty jerky of them to put that text on the deck like that. I would stick a lifeboat or cannon ball rack over it, that sucks. Did you make those curled up ropes, if so what did you use?

The ropes were cast on the deck already. Pantherman

Got the main masts done ready for fitting. Front mast finished but I will leave this until last to fit.

Added the boat's to the main deck and made a start on the windows, still got to straighten them up a bit. Pantherman

Masts in place and have started to tidy up the windows. Next will be the rigging but the destructions suck so I might have to wing it. Pantherman

Do you want to reference the instructions from mine for the rigging? They are basically the same ship (yours has extra decks), maybe that will help.

Also did you have any issues with the rat lines breaking on you?

Many thanks, that's really helpful. The ratlines went fairly well as they were preformed and just needed trimming to fit. Pantherman
